 VH> Abstract: This study examined the contribution of the home environment
 VH> to the reading achievement of 49 children and adolescents with low
 VH> vision. It found that children with no books at home read less well
 VH> than those with books at home, but that no other home variables were
 VH> related to reading achievement. (DB)

Righty oh !  It'll be interesting to see what "low vision" was 
determined to be,  and whether a variable of `amount of adult 
reading in view of child' was employed in any way...

Thanks again ..

Miles.
